A lot of people think eating healthy and convenience go together like
oil and water, but eating healthier doesn't have to take a lot of time.
"A little organization goes a long way when planning healthy meals,"
said Melissa Halas-Liang, registered dietitian and child nutrition
expert. "Stocking up on healthy food staples, like whole grains, beans
and nuts, and buying fresh produce are two easy steps to make healthy
meal planning easier."
To help consumers prepare healthier meals, GE
over-the-range microwave ovens now include a MyPlate button that
allows users to easily cook foods found in the U.S. Department of
Agriculture's (USDA) recommended dietary guidelines. For example,
consumers can use GE's MyPlate feature to select a preset for cooking
specific vegetables, such as fresh asparagus, frozen green beans, or
numerous other options in each USDA MyPlate category -- fruits,
vegetables, whole grains and lean proteins.
